This is proposed by someone for every Drupal version, it has been tried 
several times, and it has never worked for reasons that have been discussed at 
length in previous threads on this list. Please search the archives to read up

If we really go with module-supported "automatical" compatibility, the 
forward-facing way (deadwood) is much more promising than the legacy one.
